Good ebikes are/will be 75-150lbs.

wtf, no? How would a 150 lbs ebike even look like?

That's an electric moped.

Same cargo ebikes near this weight. I have the radrunner plus and it's 75 lbs.

Sur Ron light bee X is 110 lbs Sur Ron ultra bee is 187 lbs

So I guess it would look, almost exactly, halfway between these

The Light Bee X and Ultra Bee are full on electric motorcycles though, not exactly ebikes.

I think technically mopeds, but yes. It's a weird and convoluted space now. Just as an example -- people will purposely install bicycle pedals on Surrons to make it look like they are just assisted ebikes or something.
